I am trying to receive an email message from outside the district and it is being blocked, why?

The district does not intentionally block any messages incoming or outgoing. There are some messages that we are required by law to filter. These are generally any message using inappropriate language and/or content. Beyond this, it is most often an issue communicating between the two mail servers. In these instances, please forward as an attachment any messages indicating that your message was not accepted to postmaster@visd.net with a brief statement of events that lead to the rejection.

If you did not receive any feedback from the server then please note that with as much information as possible the sending email address and/or mail server address information.
